hope mine aint delyed either...OCUK i'm counting on you..
 
How they shipping, usual DPD? I've got it coming from Amazon. Bound to be the mail.....
 
Take a look at the future folks.

I predict that in about twelve months SSD's will start becoming the norm.

In the meantime, I have a pair of 150Gb Velicoraptors waiting for a RAID 0 install of Win 7.

Soon, they'll probably be antiquated but will have to do me for a few years at least.

And Dixons have just taken the money from my bank account for Win 7 Home Premium (£45.00) and say it will be on it's way shortly.

Kinda looking forward to this thing :)

Also looking forward to V_R's build, it's looking great :thumb:
 
I cant wait to get hold of win7 even though i've been using the RC for ages which is the same as the version i'm getting (ultimate)

Are you sure it ain't just a demo dummy. Better tak a look inside mate. :D
 
Just a little off-topic but just had an e-mail from Dixons who tell me Win 7 will not be shipped any earlier than oct 21 and will take 5 to 7 working days to arrive.

And I thought E-Buyer had bad postal service, lol ;)

Oh well, patience Mr Flops, patience....

"Apparently those of us who own a Kingston 40GB X25-V Value SSD are not going to receive a TRIM update after all. That's despite the fact that the X25-V uses the same 34nm NAND and controller as the 80GB and 160GB G2 SSDs, which have got TRIM support..

It's not Intel's failing though - who have released a TRIM firmware for its X25-V, and the situation is highly surprisingly given Kingston's "great relationship" with Intel."

This is worth checking out if you are tempted to buy a Kingston SSD. ;)
 
HELLO EVERYBODY

GOOD DAY

I LIKE THIS WEBSITE

IN the mean time, all other stuff like music and games could go on standard drives. I get frustrated at times the amount of time it take for my system to boot however if I bought a small drive and used that primarily as boot drive that would make a huge dfference on system boot times.

ANYWAY TRY THIS WEBSITE

IT MAY HELP
